Can see him being an important player in the middle of winter and on the MCG with his engine. Kicking is the flaw but if he models his game on a cunnnington type he can be a very good inside player. Arguably already one of our best stoppage players.
Would love for him to watch some Cunnington tape and Solomon tape. Could be a nutbag midfield beast in years to come.

I would like to see our future inside midfield as our scruffy hard nut types and have the polish on the outside.
Clarke, Parish, Heppell, Shiel and Stringer getting there knees dirty while giving opposition black eyes from there flying elbows while getting it out to the class of Langford, Merrett and McGrath.

Hopefully this year he goes past Myers as that “next-in-line” fringe team-oriented inside midfielder; he’ll have stiff competition from Guelfi, Mutch, Mynott, Begley, Laverde and whoever else I have forgotten.

Watching him in the VFL practice match at Beaconsfield, its fairly clear that in 2019 he is less tentative about kicking, and he is hitting his targets. At this point he is an “average” kick, which is a lot better than the below average/poor kick he was when he was drafted. That said, he always looks to handball first.

He is a good scrapper in close, at 187cm is in the same height class as Ross, Kennedy, Higgins, Cunnington, Beams, Rockliff. He is an accumulator, he stands up in packs but lacks break away pace and the power to break tackles, which are now the attributes that would send him to the next level.

I believe he would be next cab off the rank if we need to bring in another mid. Last week, coming off injury, Kobe Mutch was quite a bit down on form.
